ā° TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
KingoBio develops GraBeads, superior single-core magnetic beads that improve accuracy and efficiency in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and liquid biopsy applications.
š”The Idea
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective sequencing of large amounts of genetic material.
- However, low performance of existing NGS beads (extraction and recovery rates ā¤~50%) in combination with high loss and errors in current beads lead to consumptive diagnostic time
- KingoBio is introducing GraBeads, featuring uniform and stable single-core magnetic beads with superior magnetic properties, dispersion, high uniformity, and precise selectivity
- GraBeads are applicable for pathogen, protein, and nucleic acid separation and concentration
š„Benefits
- High recovery rate (>20% higher than competitors)
- Excellent extraction rate (>15% higher than competitors)
- Uniform bead size (Cv of 5% or less)
- Superparamagnetic properties with strong magnetic performance
- High dispersity (PDI below 0.1)
- Wide range of applications including diagnostic kits, NGS, and early-stage infection detection
šµBusiness Model
- B2B sales to:
- Public sector
- Academic Research Institutions (Universities and colleges conducting advanced genetic research)
- Clinical Diagnostic Centers (Centers that use genetic sequencing for diagnosing diseases)
- Forensic Laboratories (Labs using genetic sequencing for criminal investigations and legal evidence)
- Hospitals
- Private sector
- Biotechnology companies (Firms specializing in the development of biotechnological products, including diagnostic kits)
- Molecular Diagnostics Companies (Firms focusing on molecular diagnostics, including genetic and genomic testing kits)
- Agricultural Biotechnology Firms (Companies applying genetic sequencing to improve crop and livestock breeds)
- NGS Analysis Institution (Companies that use genetic sequencing for diagnosing diseases)
- Pharmaceutical Companies (Companies involved in drug discovery and development)
- International expansion plans for US and Asia Pacific markets
